SDN, U of C website, reviewed my own application
What impressed you positively?
I was very impressed with U of C. Everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. My interviewers really knew my application and tried to make me feel comfortable.
What impressed you negatively?
There is a lot of down time between interviews. It's not really a bad thing just come prepared to get to know the other interviewees.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you plan on flying in, make reservations to fly into Midway. (much closer) If you take a taxi, have them take the roads rather than the freeway. (it'll save you about 15 bucks)
What are your general comments?
Overall, my experience at U of C was wonderful. I was very impressed by the faculty and the students. The facilities are beautiful and it seems the school really listens to the students. The non-competitive atmosphere between students was encouraging and students are very happy even though it's freezing there.
